Some more personal words to the ending of the Drone 7"-series:
Back in the spring of 1993 the first Drone Records EP was released (DR-01: MAEROR TRI) with the aim of supporting the global vinyl and "experimental atmospheric" music scene as well as the ideals of the cassette- and mail-art network (selfmade artwork, uncommerciality, personal communication).
We now celebrate reaching the 100th release in the Drone Records-series - these last two EPs will end it. We hope this series contributed making the notion of "Drone Music" as well known as it is today, an own genre-defying style. 17 years ago hardly anyone heard of "Drones" or used the phrase "droning" for this kind of music. We always took the concept "Drone" to be more than just a musical genre, but rather as a specific state of consciousness connected to sound. THE DRONE as a psychological and physical phenomenon can evoke a state of pure sensual perception & contemplation. It builds a connection to everything that hums & vibrates (including earth & cosmos), the deliverance of language & thought, and facilitates a holistic "All is One, One is All" experience. PURE SOUND. "The Drone" always was there and will always be!
The series is finalized with two very special releases featuring incredible handmade designs.
A million thanks to all who supported us over the years !!
